New link (this
month)
A red dashed line marks a
connection that was newly added in the currently displayed
month.
Internet Exchange /
Gateway
Central exchange points (IXP)
and international gateways. These are the hubs that interconnect
providers.
Domestic Internet
Provider
Local ISPs surrounding the
exchange (positioned top, bottom, left, right of the hub).
Government Agency
Green circle nodes are
government / public-sector organisations.
International
Provider
External peers reachable via
the gateway. Appears on the outermost ring (otop, oleft, oright,
obottom).
Layer-2 Exchange
Point
Nodes with the white
double-arrow icon inside are Layer-2 exchange points — they forward
Ethernet frames bidirectionally between peers without IP
routing.
Bandwidth Sharing
A link marked with this share
icon shares bandwidth with other providers. Click the icon in the
edge detail panel to see the sharing partners.
How to Use
Click a node to view its connections in the table
above.
Toggle "Shortest Path" and select two ISPs to
find a route.
Use Curve slider to adjust edge
bending.
Click an edge to open the detail sidebar at
the bottom.
Use the layer radio to switch between
Domestic and International views.
Power Features
Search modes — toggle
between name and AS Number from the dropdown next to the search
bar.
Table filter — narrow
visible rows by name or AS Number with the filter dropdown above the
table.
CSV export — download
the current table view from the export button.
Month picker — choose a
historical snapshot from the calendar control.
Fullscreen / Theme —
top-right toggles for distraction-free viewing and dark mode.
Tips
Selected nodes get a translucent ring; click
empty space or the node again to deselect.
Edge thickness reflects connection capacity;
animated edges show active links.
The category legend on the map shows the
color coding used for each node type.
Hover any node for a quick tooltip; click
for full detail in the side panel.
Shortest Path Mode
Find the shortest hop-to-hop path between two nodes inside this
chart only — not real network routing.
This is a graph traversal, not BGP. Results
reflect the visible topology, not actual internet paths or AS-path
data.
Steps
1Click the first node —
your source ISP.
2Click the second node —
your destination ISP.
3The shortest hop path lights up; the
table shows each hop in order.
4Click empty space or toggle the switch
off to clear the selection.
What "hops" mean
Hop count — the
number of intermediate nodes between source and destination on this
chart.
Unweighted BFS —
every edge counts equally; bandwidth and latency are not factored
in.
Chart-only — the path
follows the rendered topology, not real BGP routes, peering
policies, or transit agreements.
No path — if no path
exists in the current layer, switch layers or try different
endpoints.
